In fact Verizon has built a solid customer base by attracting businesses and individuals looking for uninterrupted, dependable coverage. The phones and applications have always been an afterthought for customers of Verizon wireless. I propose to write a report on how Verizon can attract new customers by easing network restrictions and offering popular phones.

As a client of Proximity, Verizon Wireless needs this report to understand the steps it needs to take to attract Gen-Y consumers.
